A Swedish court sentenced Osama Krayem, already serving life sentences for Paris and Brussels attacks, to a second life sentence for his role in the 2015 ISIS murder of Jordanian pilot Lt. Moaz al-Kasasbeh in Syria. Krayem, who denied the charges, was found guilty of "serious war crimes and terrorist crimes." The court determined his active participation in the pilot's burning death, including guarding and transporting the victim, constituted a war crime. Financial compensation was awarded to the pilot's family.
